Perkins Township Firefighter Brian Hackenburg is going to attempt to break the Guinness World Record for fastest half marathon in a Firefighter's Uniform this Sunday December 15, 2013 at 0900 hours.

We have been trying to promote firefighter fitness by doing many different events and fundraisers this year.  Everything from short triathlons, 5k runs, 10k runs, and longer distance triathlons.  Check out the Triathlon Training page for more pictures. The cause evolved into the National Firefighters Endowment Turnout Challenge project to raise funds to be used to assist fire departments in ...

There is no way one training site, blog, or company can cover it all. Get on Facebook, Twitter, a blog, a website, or all of the above for a training idea to prevent A.I.R. (ass in recliner) syndrome.

Hackenburg has set a new goal of attempting (in December) to set the Genius World Record for fastest half marathon in gear. It is currently set at 2 hours and a few seconds. More to come on this one.

We all had a great weekend of racing and reached goals of different proportions together. There is talk of Brotherhood, training, and the need for improved fitness levels all the time in the fire service. This past weekend was a culmination of all three.

The Rev3 triathlon in Sandusky, Ohio is near, the weather forecast is looking better, and we are almost set for a long weekend.

We've had a long swim (2.5 miles) scheduled for today since Monday. Of course the weather changed and the wind started blowing out of the North causing the wave action on Lake Erie to kick up a bit. This morning the National Weather Service out of Cleveland issued a rip current risk advisory.

Three of us raced in the HFP Racing Vermilion triathlon / duathlon yesterday. The weather was perfect and Lake Erie settled down from the night before for a nice swim.

There are three separate parts to this post, but lots of good stuff to think about.

A bunch of us ran the Sandusky (OH) Stein Hospice 5k this morning in gear.
